How long does it take to recover from shoulder pain with physical therapy?

Recovery time depends on your specific condition and how long you've been dealing with the problem. Many of our Milton patients notice significant improvement within 4-6 sessions, especially for acute injuries or recent shoulder pain. Chronic conditions or post-surgical cases may take 8-12 weeks.

Do you accept insurance for shoulder physical therapy?

We are an out-of-network, cash-based physical therapy practice. While we don't bill insurance directly, we can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

What makes Apex Physical Therapy different from other PT clinics near Milton?

We never see more than one patient at a time. Your full hour is spent working one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. We use comprehensive biomechanical assessments and advanced manual therapy techniques to find and fix the root cause of your shoulder pain.

Can physical therapy help me avoid shoulder surgery?

In many cases, yes. We've helped numerous Milton patients avoid surgery for conditions like rotator cuff tears, labrum tears, and shoulder impingement through comprehensive conservative treatment and proven manual therapy techniques.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation and detailed biomechanical assessment to identify exactly what's causing your shoulder problem. We'll create a personalized treatment plan and often begin hands-on treatment during that same visit.
